From the villages portions of Les Grands Champs and Les Lurets. 89-91 Points, Allen Meadows, Burghound.com (April 2023) "A cool and restrained nose grudgingly gives up its aromas of violet, spiced plum, and discreet green tea hints. The super-sleek and beautifully delineated middleweight flavours exude an almost palpable minerality that gives a sense of lift to the compact, firm, lingering finale. This is a quality Volnay Villages that is also worth considering, provided that you intend to cellar it for at least a few years first. Drink from 2028 onward" 

ABOUT CAMILLE GIROUD

Established in 1865, Maison Camille Giroud has a rich heritage rooted in Burgundy’s winemaking tradition. Initially a specialist négociant, they sourced wines from esteemed growers across the renowned Côte d’Or region, ageing them meticulously in their cellars for decades to achieve peak maturity. In 2001, a consortium, including Napa Valley winery owner Ann Colgin and wine investors, took over, aiming to blend tradition with modern techniques and a terroir-driven approach. This led to innovations, like wooden presses and open vats, under the dynamic winemaker David Croix.

Most wines continued to be crafted from carefully selected grapes, many from old vines. Their commitment to natural winemaking practices, including native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention, set them apart. In 2016, Carel Voorhuis continued the legacy of crafting pure, terroir-driven wines, maintaining Maison Camille Giroud’s reputation for excellence in Burgundy.
